"W.L.S. Patient Humiliated During T.S.A. Search at Love Field"

 Oh boy ..  they've managed to do it yet again, this time to a Ft. Worth grandmother who was traveling for medical treatment of complications following her WLS:

Geez.  

I don't know what testing process TSA is using in hiring it's employees but obviously they don't give a "horse sense" test.  Think they hire the wanna bes and culls from the FBI, DEA, Border Patrol etc.

The whole process irritates the living crap out of me based on my understanding and the way I have to apply and respect a person's Fourth Amendment rights.  Where is the ACLU when there is on a minute by minute basis violations of the Fourth Amendment going on at every airport?

I can tell you they use CRAP process.  When TSA began their big push post 911, my husband applied for a position.   He has nearly 100 college credit hours classified as a senior at the time and  a veteran with a lot of years in industry.  When he is in Houston interviewing and TSA was grouping applicants, VETS were given a greater priority.  As he stood in line and groups were being formed, one agent sitting at a table told him to go to one group.  Another TSA agent at the table said "NO  he is a VET he is supposed to go to the other line."  The first TSA agent said "I don't care; go to that line."  The group he was directed to was  cut immediately.  Sad thing is a few years ago Houston's Intercontinental Airport was raided and a large number of illegals who were serving in Federal jobs were arrested.  TSA is one big joke.  Just another intrusive arm of the incompetence of big brother.

TSA hired illegal aliens and they were screening passengers?  Ain't that like having the wolf guard the chickens.

 Thanks Paul....I had not heard of this.   Really sad when the TSA goes to measures like this.   I pray that this dear lady is OK and made it safely to her appointment.
